very nice. I love it..I love the color.

Absolutely stunning!!! I hope you can enter it somewhere...people should see it! Congratulations on a job well done!

Absolutely beautiful and so impressive that you just kept at that hand sewing during your waits, etc. And you are giving it as a present, wow. How very special.

Beautiful! What an accomplishment!

Wow, it's lovely. Great job after many hours of work. Enjoy!

Nice - amazing how much you got done 'while doing other things'

I also like your fabric choices.

That is so stunning...Love the color choices....some day I will finish mine too....It won't be that big tho!

Congratulations on a very big finish! You must be so pleased - that it is beautiful and that it is done!! And with the minkee backing it should keep you toasty during those winter storms (half way up Hudson's Bay? brrrrr...il fait froid!)
